BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Binghamton Mayor Jared Kraham says the State Street parking garage will close on Jan. 5, 2026, ahead of its demolition next year.
Binghamton plans to request bids for demolition of the garage in the coming weeks, per the city’s website.
The mayor announced plans for the ramp’s demolition in September during his 2026 budget address. The ramp, located on the corner of State and Henry streets, was built in 1970.

“As the City moves forward with plans to tear down the aging State Street parking ramp, LAZ Parking is working to relocate monthly parkers and bring operations to a close,” Kraham said in the announcement. “Downtown’s two new parking garages on Water Street and Hawley Street are providing residents and visitors with safe and easy parking options. With the State Street ramp at the end of its useful life, demolition will clear the way for economic development opportunities in a critical corner of downtown Binghamton.”
Permitted parkers at the ramp can contact LAZ Parking at (607) 759-1026 or email binghamton@lazparking.com with questions, or to seek more information on relocation.
Businesses whose customers and employees use the State Street ramp can also reach out to the city’s Office of Economic Development at (607) 772-7161 for assistance in identifying alternate parking options.
